Jay-Z and Rocawear to Push Cherry Coke

The Coca-Cola soda company has enlisted Jay-Z and his Rocawear apparel company to help relaunch their lagging Cherry Coke brand. According to marketing magazine and website Brandweek.com, Hova will consult on several different aspects of the branding initiative including the look of the new Cherry Coke can and the new TV commercials for the product. The Def Jam head will also be co-producing and making an appearance at the Cherry Coke and Cherry Coke Zero launch event on February 7 at New York’s Fashion Week. Jay and Rocawear will work in conjunction with L.A. based advertising agency 72 and Sunny to create ad spots for TV, print, internet and radio. An unspecified Jay-Z song is expected to be used in the ads, although the rapper and label president is not expected to appear in any of them. “The partnership between Rocawear and Coke for the relaunch of Cherry Coke represents how brands are looking for fully integrated partnerships to effectively communicate to a lifestyle,” said Jameel Spencer, CMO for Rocawear. “The partnership is mutually beneficial as Coke has a longstanding place in the fabric of American culture, and Rocawear represents the fashion iteration of the ‘new’ America.”

Everything Gay-Z does proves his homie Nas right. Fuck them and Fuck everybody he know.

YO this dude is right on point. That’s the problem with black people. Always ready to call someone a sellout because they doing big things. You should be happy to see a black man come from selling rocks to millionaire status!! Niggas hate when they should be proud. I am glad to see that Jay didn’t have to go to some Ivy League school to make it big in this country. I am glad to see that the White heads at Bud and Coca Cola see that too. Black people stop being crabs and pulling each other down and be proud that we making it. Other generations can’t say some of the things we can.

“What more can I say..” Dude is the truth. The only cats that are mad are the ones that don’t know how to get money like Hov. All you haters need to appreciate what this dude is doing. He is showing a whole ethnicity that you do not have to be defined by your color. Get that money Hov.
Another thing. What’s up with the fake street shit. Was he supposed to sell drugs and be on the block the rest of his life? Come on now, 90% of yall jokers out here are pretending. Wanting ya name to ring out for the wrong reasons…R.I.C.O. motherfuckers. Its time to ascend to another level and take over the board rooms because the toughest gangsta’s are the ones that can pick up a pen or make a phone call…Pick up a book…read the “Willie Lynch Letters” and learn something.
GO GET EM HOV – HOLLA

Jigga is at it again. Thats what I like to see black men succeeding.

And for you haters: Get off your ass, stop thinking hustling on the block makes you “black,” and take advantage of America — it is built on an entrepreneurial spirit. You idiots are just too stupid to realize that no one gives a damn about your street credibility
